Rwanda refugee deal is reciprocal: the UK should take people from there. But will it?
Suella Braverman in Rwanda: she can send people there, but if that country’s government invokes the part of the deal in which it sends people to the UK, it seems she’ll renege on it.
It’s good to know that Suella Braverman will lie in the face of the facts during a TV interview when she is confronted with them.
BBC reporters have examined the deal by which the UK gets to send refugees to Rwanda, and it is reciprocal; Rwanda will be able to send people to this country in return.
But when Braverman – who is the UK’s Home Secretary, remember – was confronted with this, she flatly denied that it would happen:
The Tories don't want anyone to know this, so please retweet.#bbclaurak The Rwandan deal says the UK will resettle some of their refugees… how many will come to the UK?

Notice that she didn’t say it wasn’t a part of the deal.
It seems likely, therefore, that the UK will renege on the deal, should Rwanda try to invoke that part of it.
What then? An international incident?

It was probably a desperate attempt by Priti Patel originally to sweeten the deal when negotiating it, copying Israel’s arrangements.
Question is, can any Asylum seeker “deported” by the UK claim Refugee Status after being given Rwandan Citizenship if maltreated there?
If that is the case, the can is just being kicked down the road to make UK’s immigration figures temporarily look better – sounds like a typical Tory deal to me !!
Fascist tory fake government will definitely renege on their deal of reciprocal arrangements with Rwanda. Rwandan government are fools if they believe the endless lies fascist tories utter! No way will any refugee in Rwanda be sent to fascist little england!
